Uchiha Gen learned that Hatake Sakumo’s sword domain could influence others through his “clear heart” ability, then joined a Konoha ambush against Iwagakure forces in the Land of Grass.

• Uchiha Gen watched Ōnoki from inside the Fake World and wondered why Iwagakure’s leader had personally joined the battle.

• Madara Uchiha snapped off his burned palm and discussed the flames that had damaged it, then said he had ample time to wait for Obito to awaken and to awaken and eat Him.
• White Zetsu reported that Black Zetsu had used Impure World Reincarnation to bring back Tobirama Senju, who had traveled to the Land of Calamity and taken control of Tsuchimikado Getsuchō.
• Madara Uchiha suspected Tobirama Senju was pursuing his own plans and ordered White Zetsu to watch Uchiha Gen and report his strength.
• Uchiha Gen sensed something watching him at Konoha's camp in the Land of Grass and wondered whether Shimura Danzō or Madara Uchiha might be targeting him.
• Uchiha Gen stopped speculating and considered what to eat, while a hazy dream realm filled with fragments of illusory places appeared.

Shimura Danzō learned that Uchiha Gen had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and resolved to take his eyes. Hiruzen Sarutobi refused to let Danzō target him in Konoha, so Danzō arranged for Gen to be sent to the Kirigakure front.

• In a nightmare realm, Shimura Danzō saw a dream fragment revealing that Ōnoki had spread news of Uchiha Gen's Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Nightmare Wraith challenged Danzō, but Danzō dismissed the nightmares as tools and said Gen's Mangekyō would be his.

• Hiruzen warned that attacking Gen could provoke the Uchiha Clan and insisted that Gen must not die at the hands of his Konoha comrades.
• Danzō persuaded Hiruzen to issue a transfer order sending Gen to the Kirigakure front, then returned to Root's base.

Tsunade refused the Hokage’s order to take command on the Kirigakure front, so Orochimaru agreed to deliver her research notes to him instead. Back in his secret laboratory, Orochimaru reviewed power options for his Satellite Orbital Cannon and saw that Tailed Beast Chakra was the leading recommendation.

• Tsunade smashed a desk as she argued with Orochimaru that leaving the Land of Wind front would weaken Konoha’s advantage against Sunagakure.
• Orochimaru refused to take Tsunade’s place, even when she offered him Tobirama Senju’s research notes, but accepted the notes when she decided to speak to the Hokage herself.

• Orochimaru asked Snake One for the Satellite Orbital Cannon’s power-system calculations, and Snake One presented four feasible proposals.
• Snake One recommended Tailed Beast Chakra, explaining that tests using the Eight-Tails’ chakra showed it could power the cannon.

Orochimaru shelved the Satellite Orbital Cannon after learning it required resources he could not yet obtain, while Konoha reassigned shinobi across its fronts in response to Kirigakure’s attack. On the Eastern Front, Uchiha Gen found the targets for his squad, surprising Obito Uchiha with his sensory abilities.

• Orochimaru abandoned plans to obtain a Tailed Beast or senjutsu chakra and put the Satellite Orbital Cannon on hold.
• Jiraiya told Minato Namikaze that Uchiha Gen and Obito Uchiha would be sent to fight Kirigakure, while he and Minato would lead troops against Kumogakure.
• Minato Namikaze suspected that Gen’s assignment might be connected to the possible exposure of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Shikaku Nara commanded Konoha’s Eastern Front, where Konoha planned to let Kirigakure land in the Land of Fire rather than defend a coastline vulnerable to Water Release attacks.
• Uchiha Gen told Obito Uchiha and Uchiha Ganghuo that he had found their targets, prompting Obito to marvel at Gen’s sensory abilities.

Uchiha Gen, Uchiha Ganghuo, and Obito Uchiha confronted the Mist Ninja Hozuki Shitsu, who used the Hidden Mist Technique to escape the first attack. Hozuki Shitsu then faced Uchiha Gen alone, transformed into a massive water giant, and attacked him.

• Uchiha Gen spotted Hozuki Shitsu hiding as a spider, and he and Uchiha Ganghuo shielded themselves and Obito Uchiha with Susanoo armor.
• Hozuki Shitsu escaped the spider as a drop of water, but Obito Uchiha attacked with fire dragons and Uchiha Ganghuo cut through Hozuki Shitsu’s water hand.
• Hozuki Shitsu unleashed the Hidden Mist Technique and fled, while Uchiha Gen waited beyond the mist and addressed him directly.
• Believing Uchiha Gen could see him, Hozuki Shitsu abandoned his escape and expanded into a giant water form.
• Hozuki Shitsu charged Uchiha Gen with a punch.

Uchiha Gen defeated Hozuki Shitsu with a fireball fueled by Green Lotus Core Flame, then continued his mission with Uchiha Ganghuo and Obito. Meanwhile, Black Zetsu brought Tobirama Senju among the Onmyoji and revealed his plan to capture a revived being before questioning whether Tobirama was truly under his control.

• Black Zetsu turned to Tobirama Senju and asked whether he was actually under his control.

• Black Zetsu sealed the room with talismans and explained that he wanted to make a deal with Tobirama Senju.
• Black Zetsu offered to awaken Hashirama Senju and free him from Asura's influence, provoking Tobirama to erupt with chakra.

• Black Zetsu revealed that Hashirama Senju was not dead but had sealed himself on the moon.

Tobirama Senju drew Black Zetsu into revealing more about Hashirama Senju’s seal and Madara Uchiha’s power. As Black Zetsu began explaining the Rinnegan, seven strange figures approached the building by boat, preparing for their lord’s descent.

• Tobirama Senju questioned Black Zetsu about Hashirama Senju’s sealing, but refused to undo it and said he would confront Madara Uchiha himself.

• Black Zetsu said Madara possessed the Rinnegan and began explaining its power after Tobirama asked what it was.
• Seven pale, strange figures approached the pavilion by boat and discussed the coming descent of their lord, which required blood offerings and the aura of death from a nearby battlefield.

A group of followers plotted to restore their lord by exploiting the fighting at the Fallen Gods' Land, while arguing over their injured cult leader and the danger of Konoha's occupation. They learned that Konoha's Uchiha had established an outpost and began considering how to provoke Kirigakure into fighting them.

• The black-threaded man dismissed the Jashin Cult's holy child as an experimental subject and praised their own lord.
• The pale-skinned girl asked about the green flames immobilizing their cult leader, and the masked woman blamed his meddling and mocked him.

• Blood Child reported that Konoha's ninja, including the Uchiha, had occupied the Fallen Gods' Land and built an outpost.
• The black-threaded man welcomed the prospect of the lord absorbing the Uchiha's ocular power, while the others discussed how to make Kirigakure fight its way back into the area.

Shimura Danzō and his allies plotted to target the Uchiha through a nightmare linked to reality, while Uchiha Gen sensed danger at a new outpost crowded with his clan. After searching the area and sending Haunter to watch for threats, Gen turned his thoughts toward Danzō, then saw Obito approaching.

• The people aboard the boat discussed disguising themselves and creating chaos, while a glowing butterfly watched from the bow.
• In the dream world, Shimura Danzō described a nightmare aimed at Uchiha Gen, and four black shadows praised their merged power.
• A cracked hand briefly reached through space toward the butterfly before withdrawing, as an unseen speaker warned Danzō not to fall into the nightmare.
• Uchiha Gen surveyed the outpost and worried that too many Uchiha had been assigned there, despite finding only Mist Ninja scouts nearby.
• Gen sent electric arcs and Demon Blade fragments after the scouts, asked Haunter to watch the surroundings, and opened a green-flamed portal for it.
• Gen resolved that Shimura Danzō could not be allowed to remain, then saw Obito Uchiha running toward him with goggles.

Obito Uchiha showed Uchiha Gen his new goggles and peppered him with questions about the Sharingan. On an island near the Land of Fire, Kaguya Mai and his clan discussed their frustration at being ordered to retreat, while Black Rope’s group prepared to manipulate them into escalating the war.

• Obito Uchiha told Uchiha Gen that Kōka had given him the latest goggles, then bragged that he would awaken a powerful Sharingan.
• Uchiha Gen ignored Obito Uchiha’s chatter as they walked together.
• Kaguya Mai and the Kaguya clan members complained about their orders to retreat and discussed finding a reason to attack Konoha.
• Black Rope said the Kaguya Clan would be easy to control, and Poisonous Woman arranged a report claiming Uchiha scouts were near the island.
• Kaguya Mai decided that he and the other Kaguya clan members would go out to confront the five supposed Uchiha scouts themselves.

Seven members of a mysterious group ambushed the Kaguya Clan, killed and took over their bodies, and planned to use their identities to mobilize troops against Konoha. They chose the name Seven Monsters and set off to begin their operation.

• Kaguya Mai and three other Kaguya clansmen were caught in black threads, and the attack killed the clan member hidden inside their bone ship.

• The group decided to use their stolen identities to mobilize troops against Konoha and named themselves the Seven Monsters.

Tsunade learned that Kirigakure had launched a major attack on an outpost crowded with Uchiha and set out to respond. At the outpost, Uchiha Gen defeated a Yuki Clan ninja and prepared to strike back, but a strange vision of a towering deathly figure interrupted him.

• Tsunade ordered Hyuga Hiashi and Jonin Nara Suzaku to join her as she headed to the attacked outpost.
• Uchiha Gen protected Obito Uchiha from attacks in the mist and faced a Yuki ninja using Ice Release to create seven copies of him.

• A wisp of flame appeared over Uchiha Gen’s right eye, and he saw a vision of a towering figure rising amid bones and gray vapor that drained the life from its surroundings.

Uchiha Gen saw a possible future of a corpse-strewn world, then destroyed the Kirigakure Ninja around the Uchiha with a massive Azure Fire Release. He tracked an eerie living corpse to the sea and confronted Tobirama Senju with Susanoo.

Uchiha Gen fought Tobirama Senju, who used darkness and space-time techniques, but Gen tore through the darkness and attacked him with Green Lotus Core Flame. Tobirama escaped across the world, was burned apart, and began regenerating while deciding to investigate the Sharingan and ancient history.

• Tobirama Senju used the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, blinding Uchiha Gen and transporting his Susanoo’s blade away with space-time ninjutsu.
• Uchiha Gen activated Night of Mitsu, tore open the darkness, and reached into the space-time continuum to attack Tobirama Senju with blue-green flame.
• Tobirama Senju teleported tens of thousands of kilometers away, but the flame engulfed him and burned his body completely away.
• Tobirama Senju regenerated from a scrap of paper and resolved to learn more about ancient times and research the Sharingan.
• Uchiha Gen pulled his hand from the void and reflected that Tobirama Senju’s space-time mastery exceeded Minato Namikaze’s.

Uchiha Gen suspected the living corpse was Tobirama Senju and went to the outpost, where he found Uchiha clansmen fighting Kaguya Clan ninjas. After the enemy operation opened a sealed gate, Gen trapped the attackers in his newly awakened Naruson Domain, where Black Rope discovered the space reflected his hidden movements.

• Uchiha Gen announced his Naruson Domain, and Black Rope saw the space reveal the bone spike growing from his hand.
